Re: Rome Total War Will not Install

Hi Frustrated,

Step 2 only applies for the Installation of Express 3.54 itself.
Therefore, you can safely skip step 2 and continue to step 3.

|| Hi Frustrated,
||
|| This issue occurs on some systems depending on the system configuration and privileges

||
||
|| 1.. The user does not have administrative privileges on the machine.
|| This pertains to Windows NT, 2000, or XP machines.
||
|| 2.. The ALLUSERS property is not set appropriately for the IsScript.msi file.
|| This is only true for the Installation of Express 3.54 itself. Express 3.54 setup
|| is based on InstallScript, leading to this error message.
||
|| 3.. Permissions are not set appropriately on the Installer folder in the Windows folder.
||
|| 4.. An older version of InstallShield Express 3.x is installed on the machine, and
|| the older version fails to uninstall properly. This usually happens when upgrading
|| Express from an older version to a newer one.
||
|| 5.. Multiple instances of files Msiexec.exe or IDriver.exe may be running in the memory.
||
|| 6.. Windows Installer Service may not be properly installed or configured on the machine.
||
|| 7.. The setup is trying to remove a file that is locked on the machine. This issue generally
|| occurs when setup is being removed using the Remove option of the Add Remove
|| Programs applet on Windows XP, 2000, or ME.

|| RESOLUTION:

|||| Hi Frustrated,
||||
|||| Let's try a couple of things to get Total War installed for you:
||||
|||| 1. Startup your system in SAFE MODE by pressing F8 repeatedly

||||
|||| 2. Log in with an account you've created as a "Computer Administrator"
|||| account that you'll use to play the game, but don't use a Limited account.
